I’m going to hazard a guess he used the word woke on social media… a lot.
Yes, care has to be taken over language. But it's the eye watering increase in illegals being brought in by organised crime that will fuel extremists.
It’s fear being stoked by ****s like Farage that will fuel extremists.
Dangerous precedence in jailing someone for offensive messages in a private WhatsApp group.
However shocking and repugnant the messages were it hardly seems fit to jail the offenders.
Or am I missing something ?

Because they were serving coppers.
And ( although I don't know what was said) were deeply offensive to women and disabled people.
Similar to the coppers who shared the pictures of the murdered sisters in the Wembley Park who were also jailed
With respect Beth, surely their job shouldn’t come in to it in this case…unless there is something in the law that say this and you can enlighten me ?
I would also suggest that taking pictures of murder victims is nothing at all like sharing bad taste jokes.
In a way it does.
In my job... I wouldn't be able to send pictures of murder victims
I could have sent pictures of post mortums...If I had I would have been sacked on the spot.
If the relatives had found out... I am sure I would have been prosecuted.
I know nothing about the "jokes" shared...but the judge described them as the lowest of the low.
And I believe you can be prosecuted for racist, sexist, religious hate of that kind
Apparently it is a criminal offence to send grossly offensive messages under the Malicious Communications Act 1988.
hope they dont find my phone
You're earning £150k a year, paying £48k in income tax, £8k in NI contributions and then Benny tells you that you're not paying your 'fair share'.
